It's such a big leap from high school to college, so it's hard to know what 5 stars mean sometimes.

Back in 1995 I think each school got 40,000 tickets each. Then by the next Rose Bowl it was down to 20,000 tickets each--most of the rest going to corporations. Now only 12,000? So tickets are probably out there--for a price$$$.

Woo! An inspiration to all walk-ons, I'm sure!

Apparently to show that the PAC teams were better than others thought.

There could be a concrete form of a Bigfoot footprint as the award for winning the game!

Let's hope there are a lot of Duck fans living near the playoff bowl sites!

What I noticed was how few huskies were at the game. In the past there would have been around 10,000. Looked like maybe one-or-two thousand?

Maggie and Perloff talk about the Ducks. Maggie's a fan.

I went to the second Independence Bowl game (1992?). 70's during the day while there (until the last half of the game, when it got cold). Took a cab to see a great Christmas lights display, did the self-guided walk around downtown Shreveport and got to go in to see a just-renovated theater, because we were peeking in the doorway and the Pape's saw us in our Duck gear and invited us inside for a tour as they had something to do with something in regard to the renovations, had a lot of great seafood, and just in general had a good time (except the Ducks blew a first-half 19-0 lead). The Wake Forest fans were nice and friendly, so overall we really enjoyed the trip.

Kind of like when the dawgs did that years ago at Autzen. Ducks better make sure the huskies will just be slinking out of the stadium tonight!

The first PAC Conference Championship game was at Autzen, Ducks vs. UCLA. As I remember, it was damp, but I think it had rained--not raining at the game. There was a puddle at our feet and we were smack next to a concrete wall. It was SO COLD. I believe it was the next year the game was moved to a warmer climate.

Yes, The Hit should definitely be featured on the big screens at Autzen, right up there with The Pick!

I've thought about that, but if we'd scored a FG we would have had to kick off and maybe there would have been a good run back (not likely maybe, but possible). As it was WI started from the 22 and we know what happened next.

I saw that episode!

Maybe one of them will declare themselves to be theUW.

As Gomer Pyle would have said, Golly, sur-prise, sur-prise.

I've heard this idea tossed around. Would two giant egos get along or clash?

Oh, you mean the just-wait-ticket-prices-will-be-going-up-next-year email, and here are the reasons why? Yep, I got it.

I've been assuming it's because of alphabetical order.

Yes, I heard on Thursday's local news that the Maryland bus got a police escort to Corvallis.

^^ This.

We're not like the Longhorns, who have Bevo burgers at their tailgates.
